For heaven's sake, if you really ARE experiencing job loss or a pay reduction, consider staying home until you solve that proble so that the rest of us don't wind up supporting you through food stamps, rent subsidies, and free medical care.

You know, the internet is full of Trolls and the people here that are being negative towards Sara should just move along. She was hired to do a job and she does it to the best of her ability. Maybe I should stand outside your job and tell your boss that your function should be outsourced to india because they can do it cheaper, faster and better than you can. Grow up.

A good one in the NODA district is Revolutions. It is at the corner of 36th and North Davidson. Tuseday Night - Date Night $20 dinner for two, includes two salads or appetizer, two meals, and two gelatos. Their gelato is wonderful! Thursday Night is $3 pint night. This includes every beer on the menu, even micro brews. They have a ton of beer on tap and in stock. There are other specials, not too sure about them. Definitely check this place out! This is a great idea Sarah! I can't speak for the older crowd, but the younger Charlotteans love you! Keep up the great work, know things are tough over there right now.

Dixies has $2 bud selects and mich ultras??? YUMMMMM! ha, what they don't tell you here is every other type of beer in the place is $4+. stay away, if you really need or like watered down beer go get them for $1 at Vinnie's South End.

that is amazing that the observer is cutting back and firing people and yet this girl gets paid to tell us what we could figure out ourselves by browsing through a creative loafing. at least tell us something we don't know...
